Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings 4 kievs
Calories 628 kcal
Ingredients
24 ounces chicken breasts or (600g) or 4 breasts about 6 ounces each
1- 1/4 cups whey protein unflavored
1/3 cup grated parmesan (20g)
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
1 pinch paprika optional
2 large eggs beaten
1 cup avocado olive oil For frying
Parsley Garlic Butter
6 tbsp unsalted butter room temp
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped (8g)
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/3 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions

cauliflower soup puree top viewPlace all the butter ingredients in a bowl and whisk with a fork to combine. Option to use a stick blender. Chill in fridge while you prepare the chicken.

Add the chicken breasts to a chopping board. Make a deep pocket in the thick end of each breast using a sharp knife, about half way into the fillet. Careful not to cut through or the butter will leak.

Split the butter into 4 and push equal amounts into each pocket. Seal with your hands.

Add the whey, parmesan and seasoning to a large shallow bowl. Add the eggs to another.

Dip each breast in the egg then the whey, repeating so each Kiev has a double coating. (This ensures the kievs are juicy on the inside and crisp on the outside. Keep any spare whey mix to one side.)

Place on a parchment lined baking tray and chill in the fridge for 1 hour. If you find the whey has absorbed into the egg a little after chilling, just sprinkle with a little more whey mix before frying.

Preheat the oven to 350F / 180C / 160 fan.

Heat the oil in a large non stick frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the kievs for 2 – 3 minutes each side or until golden – watch so the batter doesn’t burn. Cook two at a time to avoid overcrowding and uneven cooking.

Transfer to a baking tray and cook in the oven for 20 – 25 minutes or until cooked through.

Season with optional salt, lemon and parsley to serve.

Storage: Best fresh or refrigerate for one day, but the crumb and filling may be different.

Recipe Notes

Net Carbs

Please note that the oil for frying does not get completely absorbed into the chicken, therefore only about 2 tbsp is calculated into the nutritional information.
